I just realized something

My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.
He has his food prepared for him.
His meals are provided at no cost to him.
He visits the doctor once a year for his checkup and again during the year, if any medical needs arise.
For this he pays nothing ~ and nothing is required of him.
He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep.
If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.
He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.
He receives these accommodations absolutely free.
He is living like a king and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever.
All of his costs are picked up by others who earn a living.
I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a ton of bricks ~
MY dog is a Congressman!

In you're next life, when you're reincarnated, maybe they'll let you choose what you want to be when you come back.... Dog would be good. Cat would be good too... they get to sleep even more hours-per-day and can climb up high on things to get a better view. But Congressman pays better than cat or dog and you don't even have to pretend to be anyone's friend to get all the benefits.

You should always attribute. You got that from the song I think my dog is a Democrat By Bryan Lewis.

Last line should be “my congressman is a dog”

The founding fathers worked long and hard to create a system of government superior to anything previous. One that would guarantee life, liberty and happiness. It is not without flaws. If you have ideas which would improve our form of government, than find a way to introduce them. Democracy is slow, messy and frustrating. If you prefer quick solutions, go for a dictatorship.

I've often thought the same thing, more or less. My dogs live better than most people. They're not content to sleep in their beds on the floor. They want to be up on the big chair with me.

On the other hand, they need human help to eat and poop.

One of our dogs just reminded me that he likes fresh water. Even if the water dish is half full, he'll whine and bark if he wants fresh water.

A sense of humor is a terrible thing not to have.

Except you love your dog. Can you say the same about your congressman?
